La Chamba pottery is uniquely, authentically handmade in La Chamba, a village in Columbia.
Each piece is made with clay sourced from the Rio Magdalena river and is left to dry in sunlight, then hand polished with stones. Once a satiny smooth surface has been achieved, the pieces are fired at 800c . Finally, the fired pieces are smoked using A combination of dried local spices. This final step gives the pottery it’s iconic black colour.
The clay retains heat and fluids, which allows for a slow and balanced cooking process.
Colombian black pottery is as beautiful as it is sturdy and will give years of pleasure with proper use and care.
